Properly Measuring for the Davit Mount Size

Properly Measuring for the Davit Mount Size

Key Dimensions to Determine Davit Mount Size

A = Swim platforms internal widthB = Platforms depth (transom to edge)C = Distance from top of platform to the waterD = Beam of dinghy

To determine which mount system will work best for you, measure the beam of your dinghy, divide by 2 and add 4 inches. Now measure your platform (transom to the end).

You must add a number below to your platform length figure in order to determine which mount to use.

Example: If your dinghy width is 60″ then divide by 2 + 4″ = 34″. Swim platform is 32″. By adding 2″ to the platform this would make it equal to the dinghy width of 34″ so then you would have chosen the 6″ mount.

0″- 2″ for the 6″ Mount

2″- 4″ for the 8″ Xtensions

4″- 6″ for the 10″ Xtensions

6″+ for the 36″ Xtensions

Hint: 4 inches of the mount must be used to secure to the platform.
